Regular physical activity has a positive effect on health and wellbeing at any age. For this reason, sports and exercise enhancing measures are inherent parts of public health in Germany. The German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Children and Adolescents (KiGGS) provides a nationally representative database which allows a comprehensive analysis of physical activity behaviour among young people. This may support the planning and implementation of health intervention measures. Primary results of KiGGS indicate that most children aged 3 to 10 years regularly go in for sports: around three quarters of girls and boys go in for sports at least once a week, and even more than one third three times a week or more. Children without sport engagement come disproportionately often from families with low socioeconomic status, with a migration background or from former East Germany. Also among adolescents sports and exercise activity is very common. Among 11-17 year olds, how ever, the current recommendation to conduct physical and or sports activities on most days of the week is only achieved by every fourth boy and every sixth girl. Especially girls with low socioeconomic status and with a migration background show a lack of physical activity. These results underline the importance of sports- and exercise-promoting measures in childhood and adolescence, designed for specific target groups.
规律的体育活动在任何年龄段对健康和幸福都有积极影响。因此，促进体育锻炼的措施是德国公共卫生的固有组成部分。德国儿童和青少年健康访谈与检查调查（KiGGS）提供了一个具有全国代表性的数据库，可对年轻人的体育活动行为进行全面分析。这有助于支持健康干预措施的规划和实施。KiGGS的初步结果表明，大多数3至10岁的儿童经常参加体育运动：约四分之三的女孩和男孩每周至少参加一次体育运动，超过三分之一的人每周参加三次或更多次。不参加体育活动的儿童往往 disproportionately 来自社会经济地位低、有移民背景或来自前东德的家庭。在青少年中，体育锻炼活动也很普遍。然而，在11至17岁的青少年中，目前关于每周大部分时间进行体育和/或运动活动的建议，只有四分之一的男孩和六分之一的女孩能够做到。特别是社会经济地位低和有移民背景的女孩体育活动不足。这些结果强调了针对特定目标群体的儿童和青少年体育锻炼促进措施的重要性。
